About this fabric

The clay-toned colour sits between brown and grey, with gentle tonal variation across the tight weave that gives the surface quiet depth. At 380 gsm, this is a substantial fabric suited to upholstery rather than a lightweight, fluid cloth. It has a 140 cm usable width and a 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, making the plain texture straightforward to position on furniture. The standard length is 40 m.

How to use it

Use this warm clay taupe on an armchair, sofa or dining seat to bring grounded colour and softly textured depth to a room. Pair it with aged timber, stone neutrals and muted olive or rust accents.

A substantial plain weave with a warm taupe-brown tone for relaxed upholstery schemes.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
